First Time Investor Seeking Input.
Hello all,
My and I are looking to purchase or first investment property. Originally we were looking for a low purchase price with a higher rehab cost (all cash transactions). Now a realtor asked if we would be interested in more expensive properties requiring very little to no rehab. Both options fall within our budget but I don't know if one method is preferred over the other. I'm hesitant because obviously a realtor makes more on the more expensive property.
Any feedback is appreciated.

hi nate,
what are your plans with the property ? flip, or buy and hold ?
Also Im in the Tucson area and have just started getting my feet wet in regards to REI would love run the numbers with you and perhaps partner on a deal.
